As Yvette spoke, she fell asleep without knowing it.This time, Xavier was the one who couldn't sleep. All he could think of was what Jeremiah had said. "I'm the one she likes! I'm the one she wanted to marry!"When he finally fell asleep, he dreamed about her leaving again. When he woke up, Yvette was still sleeping by his side, and it was dark outside. Xavier couldn't sleep at all, so he got up to call Jeremiah. However, no one answered the call.So, he could only call Shannon. "Mom, where's Jeremiah?""Jerry relapsed and is now receiving treatment. What's wrong?" she asked.Xavier's gaze turned cold. "Nothing."Then, he hung up. Shannon wanted to ask him about Yvette. When she noticed that the call had ended, she couldn't help but sigh. Then, she asked Mandy, "Has Zac returned to the kindergarten?""The director said he hadn't returned to the kindergarten after his father took him away a few days ago," the latter answered.She frowned and thought about it. "Have you arrang
"Thank you for your help. Honestly, I really need help recently. Also, I don't know why you asked me about my marriage. "My marriage wasn't good enough, but that doesn't mean it's the same for every marriage. If you have any issues with yours, I hope you can fix them and live a happy life with your wife."When Xavier saw the long message, he felt extremely complicated. He couldn't help but type, "But I think she doesn't love me anymore. What can I do now?"When Yvette heard her phone pinging in a daze, she grabbed it and saw a message from the person in charge of the contract website from before. She hadn't thought that he would have marriage issues as well, let alone reply to her.She asked, "Is there any misunderstanding between you two?"When Xavier saw it, he thought about it and started typing. "I used to treat her badly previously… She used to love me before."After he sent the last message, he quickly deleted it. That was because the man that Yvette loved had never been
Xavier didn't answer Yvette. If he wanted anything, he would get it easily.She didn't ask about it anymore as well. Instead, she sat on the warm couch and looked at the familiar surroundings. Her gaze was filled with nostalgia as she reminisced about the past."If you like it here, we can stay here in the future," he said. Yvette had a feeling that he had misunderstood her. Since Yara had never liked her, she hadn't liked being there at all.Although James had been nice to her, he had spent most of his time at work. When he hadn't been at home, she'd had to stay there and watch how sweet Yara and Terrence were to each other. Meanwhile, she had felt like a stranger."I don't want to live here."Xavier went silent. She looked at him and added, "You should just return the manor to Daphne. I think we should make things clear between us."Kiki had submitted the divorce indictment to the court two days ago, and Xavier would learn about it soon.Yvette got up. "If there's nothing else
After Yvette was done talking, she ended the call. Meanwhile, Xavier was so angry that he almost smashed his phone. Mark carefully stood aside and didn't dare to make a noise. Xavier felt like there was a boulder on his chest, making him feel stuck."How much time do we have?""Half a month."After the lawsuit had been accepted, they had half a month to prepare all the documents required.Mark hadn't expected Yvette to be so cruel either. He had assumed that she would forgive Xavier after a while and be Mrs. Lane. After all, the Lane family had a great business, and it was a great achievement for someone like her to marry Xavier.Xavier calmed down after a while and asked, "Who is her lawyer?""Her friend, Kiki Torres."He looked at Mark and said, "I remember telling you to look into her before. Her ex-boyfriend was a lawyer too, right?"The latter understood what he was trying to say immediately and smiled. "He's a great lawyer named Leonard Cook. I'll make the arrangements
As Xavier said the hurtful words, he kept kissing Yvette. He wanted nothing more than to hold her forever. "How can I make you drop the lawsuit? Tell me what you want. I'll give it to you as long as you drop it!"If the court finalized their divorce, he didn't know how else he could force her to stay by his side. "Just tell me what you want. As long as I have it, I can give it all to you!" he said over and over again.She struggled to avoid him. Seeing how she wasn't saying anything, he held her tightly and asked in a deep voice, "Did Claude contact you?"She blocked him away. "I don't want anything…"Xavier didn't believe it, so he kept hugging her and didn't let go at all. The car had been stopped by the road, and the snow kept snowing nonstop. The sky slowly got dark, but he still wouldn't let go. Whenever Yvette moved a little, he would tighten his grip around her.She looked down and said, "Xavier, have you started to like me?"She had asked him the same question before. S
Zachary planned on hacking into Xavier's private computer this time. However, he didn't expect the man to be awake at that moment.Xavier couldn't sleep and was dealing with some work when he realized he was hacked. He watched as the cursor moved on the screen by itself. Xavier narrowed his eyes and started typing swiftly on his keyboard.Meanwhile, Zachary's forehead was beaded with sweat as he sat in front of the computer. Noah was lying on his belly next to Zachary. "What's wrong, Zac?""Damn it. I've been discovered."In the end, his computer's screen went blank. He had wanted to hack into Xavier's computer, but the latter had hacked into his instead. After all, Zachary was still young, and he wasn't a match for Xavier at all. The man was able to get his IP address in no time."You sure have a death wish." When Xavier got the address, he realized it was from overseas. So, he sent it to Mark and told him to get someone to look into it.Zachary felt weak. "Damn it!"Noah was
Ray turned the car around and stopped in front of Yvette. "Get in."She got in the vehicle without any hesitation. "I'll be in your care from now on."…After seeing Ray for the first time a few days ago, Xavier had sent someone to investigate him. He had learned that Ray was previously Claude's personal bodyguard and had then had started protecting Yvette.Xavier frowned slightly when he heard from his men that Ray had followed them to Tirion."Are they together now?" He remembered how Ray looked dashing and had a determined gaze. In fact, the latter didn't look like a bodyguard."Mrs. Lane is staying in Kiki's house, and he's staying in his car," Xavier's man answered.Xavier's eyebrows relaxed a little. "Alright. Keep watching them.""Yes, sir."Yvette kept quiet about suing him for a divorce. No one else knew what was going on, and the people who knew didn't dare to tell anyone else about it. After all, it involved Xavier and the whole Lane Group.However, when it was alm
Yvette suddenly felt like her life was a joke. Even though she had been married to Xavier for years, she had never asked the Lanes for anything. Instead, she had given Xavier everything she had. But in the end, they were afraid that she had her eyes on their assets.It was ridiculous!She turned back to look at Shannon. "That'll depend on the judge's decision."She didn't want the money. However, she didn't want Shannon to be happy at that moment. As expected, the latter was scared. As she watched Yvette leave, she anxiously called Xavier.Xavier and Yvette's marriage had lasted for eight years. Throughout the years, Lane Group had grown way more than expected. It had started as a local enterprise and had become one of the best companies in the world. If Yvette were to have half of it, she would gain at least hundreds of billions."Xav, where are you now?" Shannon hurriedly asked when the call was connected."At the company."He had seen the news as well, and he had told som
